Supergirl reaches the U.S. Mint on Thursday, October 1, 2026. At 12 noon Eastern, the Mint opens sales on a three piece Supergirl Comic Art coin and medal lineup: a one ounce silver medal, a 2.5 ounce silver medal, and a half ounce 24-karat gold proof coin carrying a $50 face value. The gold coin is limited to 10,000 pieces and the larger silver medal to 25,000, while the one ounce medal has no mintage cap at all.
The Mint describes this as the fourth release in its Comic Art Coin and Medal Program, the multi-year partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products that brought Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman to American coins and medals in 2025. Supergirl is the first of the next wave of heroes to reach the order page, and the price structure she arrives with will look very familiar to anyone who followed the first three.
The Woman of Tomorrow
The Mint frames the release around Kara Zor-El as a newcomer to Earth, still discovering how far her powers reach, and the design leans into that sense of arrival rather than settled authority.
The obverse shows a determined Supergirl in full flight above the clouds, her cape snapping out behind her in the wind, with LIBERTY in the field. The reverse pairs her with Krypto, her Kryptonian dog, set against a radiating starburst. On the silver medals, that reverse carries SUPERGIRL alongside two short mottos, BRAVERY LIFTS HER and GRACE GUIDES HER, which do much of the storytelling work on a piece with no denomination to anchor it.
According to the Mint’s announcement, Chief Engraver Joseph Menna designed and sculpted the obverse, while Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill designed and sculpted the reverse. Both are staff artists, which keeps the program in house as it moves into its second year.
Two Medals and a Coin
Only one of the three pieces is actually a coin, and the distinction matters.
The two silver pieces are medals. They carry no face value, are struck in 99.9% fine silver with a matte finish and plain edge at the Philadelphia Mint, and are sold as collectibles rather than legal tender. The one ounce medal measures 40.60 mm, the 2.5 ounce medal a generous 50.80 mm, which gives the larger piece the surface area the comic art style clearly benefits from.
The gold piece is a different animal. Struck at West Point in 99.99% gold, it is a $50 proof coin with a reeded edge, a 27.00 mm diameter, and a W mintmark. Because it is a coin, its inscriptions change. The Mint’s listing shows IN GOD WE TRUST and 2026 added to the obverse, and a reverse carrying UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, $50, and FINE GOLD 1/2 OZ. .9999 in place of the silver medals’ mottos. The same Supergirl and Krypto image, in other words, has to share space with the statutory language of American coinage.

Pricing and Packaging
The Supergirl gold coin does not yet show a price on the Mint’s product page, which lists it as TBD ahead of launch. The three gold coins already in the series, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, are currently selling at $3,470 each under the Mint’s pricing policy for precious metal products, and the Supergirl coin will be sold at the same price. As with every gold issue from the Mint, that figure is subject to change with the pricing grid.
The silver pricing is fixed at launch: $200 for the one ounce medal and $400 for the 2.5 ounce piece, matching the 2025 releases exactly.
Presentation follows the series template. The one ounce medal ships in a bright folder with a certificate of authenticity, while the 2.5 ounce medal and the gold coin come in a black display box that opens to a pop up comic panel of Supergirl over a city skyline, accompanied by a small comic style booklet. It is packaging built for display, and for this program that is part of the product.
How to Order
All three products carry a household order limit of 1 on the product pages. The Mint’s announcement specifies that limit for the first 24 hours of sales, so buyers should watch for it to lift after the opening day.
Collectors who wanted to avoid the launch day rush altogether had another route. Subscription enrollment for the one ounce Supergirl medal opened on August 17, capped at five medals per household, and the Mint’s Comic Art subscription program covers future one ounce medals and the Three Medal Sets automatically, with free budget shipping and cancellation available up to five days before a shipment.
Where Supergirl Fits in the Series
The Comic Art program opened in 2025 with DC’s three most recognizable heroes, and the Mint used the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Oklahoma City to reveal the next six. Supergirl, Robin, and Green Lantern are the 2026 lineup, with The Flash, Batgirl, and Aquaman following in 2027. Robin and Green Lantern products already appear on the collection page as coming soon.
That roadmap changes the calculation for collectors. With two more heroes due this year and three more after that, the gold coins in particular are building toward a set whose total cost will climb with every release. The 10,000 coin gold limit is modest by modern commemorative standards, but it has to be read against that price point.
A Familiar Formula, a Newer Hero
The Supergirl Comic Art coin and medals do not reinvent the program. They extend it faithfully: same formats, same silver prices, same packaging logic, same pairing of a flying hero with a starburst and a motto. What changes is the character, and Supergirl is a well chosen bridge between the heavyweight 2025 trio and the broader cast still to come. For set builders, she is the essential next piece. For everyone else, the 2.5 ounce medal is the one to watch, a large, capped piece of comic art in silver that may prove the most sought after of the three once the October 1 opening passes.
